The IPv6 Numeric IP Format Is a Usability Problem

mDNS is slow and unreliable and on large networks it doesn't scale. I personally don't find it very useful since half the time it barely works even on wired LANs let alone big WiFi or distributed networks. It's also prone to naming conflicts (is this linux-1, linux-2, or linux-3?) and other OS configuration issues and is not secure.

On a network like that, wouldn't DDNS solve the problem?

I mean DDNS where the DHCP server tells the DNS server which IP has what hostname, not e.g. dyndns.

I don't think people trust DDNS enough in corporate networks and any security sensitive network.
